Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-Nine-year-old Joshua continues his account of his family's move to Oregon begun in Westward to Home (2001) and continued in A Perfect Place (2002, both Scholastic). Wild Year covers frontier living in the Willamette Valley and, unusual for a beginning chapter book, the establishment of territorial government. These details of frontier life may not be as "wild" as the title implies, especially after the previous trials and tribulations on the Oregon Trail. Yet the promise of going to school for the first time after the long journey, the safe return of a lost younger sister, and the prospect of adding two orphans to the McCullough family will hold readers' interest, especially if they have read the earlier titles. Despite the diary format, Hermes creates a smooth, economical narrative that is supplemented with a brief historical endnote.

5.0 out of 5 stars Predicting the Best, August 20, 2003
A Kid's Review
I have read the first diary of Joshua three times, the second one twice. I am about to read the third one, which is this one and I KNOW it will be good. I would also recommend other Dear America books and other books by Patricia Hermes to anybody. They make a realistic fictional person from the colonial times and describes how they feel while telling a conflict at the same time. I've already read seven Dear America Books. I liked every single one of them. And I know this will also be great, too.
